Bump, or sorry no...erm...bios:


QUEEN KONG
And then Queen Kong. What ever it is the Dandys searched for in that dodgy house party aftermath these guys have growing out of their heads like cabbage.
But its not just vogueing they have songs too and Amy can siiiing and screaaaam.
In fact she has an extraordinary voice.
Guitarist Ruby favours fishnet uppers and leopard skin leggings, Bassist David rips off his top oh oh slightly misshapen never mind who are we to talk?
Recent gigs have seen the roof blown off of...
1) Ballroom of Romance
2) Electric Fix
3) LazyBird (twice)
...as well as scintillating support slots with acts as diverse as Saul Williams, Lesbians On Ecstacy and Selfish Cunt.

They have a sparkling, noisy power pop sound that could scoop up those rinky dink hoes and leave them in the mickey mouse place for ever.
Watch out Queen Kong is coming!! They call them selves pop deconstructionists in the sense that their gigs can range from all-Synth Tech Noir affairs to full on Industrial Assaults
Many years ago I saw a music journalist waste the image of a scud missile with an angel delight warhead on some useless shower of fops. OK lets reclaim this metaphor of mass seduction - heres a crowd that will fit it like a glove!

THE FIFTY TEN MILLIONS
The Fifty Ten Millions.... Long ago we were a teenage rock band. We mutated into the leeches, and now we've mutated into The Fifty Ten Millions. The same people as the Leeches, but with a new name and a secret haircut. Playing live since Janurary, our live sound is close to the recordings on this page, only more so. We're always looking for gigs if you have any spare...

HOOVERS AND SLEDGEHAMMERS
Hoovers and Sledgehammers are a Dublin based duo of rock/abstract performance artists. Igor Honey plays bass and some keyboards and Earl mustard plays drums, guitar and sings(sometimes all at the same time). They formed early in 2002 and have four independently released albums under their belt (with each album averaging 30 compositions or more). Recorded with a humble tascam 4-track recorder and mostly made up on the spot, they are: Fox at my window (2002), Shut the F**k up (2003), Hoovers and Sledgehammers(2003), Dr.Carmel (2004) and most recently, Ask Me Nicely (2006). The band are heavily influenced by Talking Heads, particularly their earlier work and are heavily uninfluenced by the Frames. In the summer of 2004 the band made a promo video for their cult hit Dalek Diarrhoea -disturbing work and most recently finished videos for Joyridin' and Hey Banana. So catch Hoovers and Sledgehammers playing around Dublin. Cheese sandwiches available at most of their shows.

LPX
And according to Paul Bluefood
'One man air punching'
Aural assault via verbal and sound sha'ttack, this Electric Fixer is known for abrasive and commanding shows, expect dubby sounds by way of mountjoy divison and synth growls by way of your (f)ears : |
